whatever...Larry said nice things because he has porn to sell to Preachers and Liberty University students.
Dude was piece of shit...he would hate you for liking that brazilian jungle music you like...
WHO FUCKING CARES if the religious right was fueled by Roe Vs. Wade...we cant decide to not to do the right thing because some fucking idiots might rise in opposition to it...
That is perhaps the difference. I am not a fan of John McCain. I am not a fan of the LA Lakers. Falwell hated me and my family and my friends and everything we believe in and stand for. I despise him and his ilk. I blame them for a lot of people's unhappiness and hardship. I wish I would have had the opportunity to say "Fuck You" in person. I won't stop just because he bought the farm, because there's tons more where he came from. I want them to know that they are the freaks. They are the evil. I see this very much in absolutes, not relatively enough to say something like "Well I'm not a fan but..."

Right. I get it. You don't seem to get that my saying that I wasn't a fan was meant to be an understatement.
I've known plenty of people like Falwell in real life; some are in my very immediate family. To me, one of the most disgusting things about Falwell--and those like him--is the fact that he seemed to rejoice in the death of those he deemed "wicked and wayward." To borrow your phrase, fuck that. I'll never stoop to his level.
The saddest thing about the Falwells of this world is that their version of Christianity is painfully far-removed from any semblance of actual Christianity. It's a shame that they can't see the importance of forgiveness and acceptance. I don't Jesus was much of a hatter.
The main difference in our "stooping to his level" is that Falwell wanted EVERYONE who wasnt one of his tribe dead and to burn in hell and he celebrated that...we are just celebrating the death and of ONE evil bastard.
Seriously. I celebrate his entire catalog of bigotry and hate disguised as religious orthodoxy.
I celebrate the fact that he just did an interview where he said he prayed to god for another 20 years of life to complete him work...................and god killed him!
I saw excerpts from that. He was talking about his university and how the first class of Jerry Falwell law school students had just graduated. If nothing else, at least those fools will prompt renewed debate over the separation of church and state as it pertains to the judiciary.
did you know that something like 70% of all the attorneys in the Justice Department are graduates of Liberty University Law School (Falwell's University), it is a 4th tier law school.....there is no fifth tier.
Citation?
There's no way that can be true--I doubt Liberty's law school is even accredited and, no matter how aggressive this administration has been in installing partisan hacks at Justice, the majority of people there predate it.
I'd be shocked if even 7% of the people there went to Liberty, much less 70%. You certainly don't have to dip down that low to find people with the right ideology. There are Federalist society chapters at every reputable law school.

Choke on that, bitches.
First off. I believe I have a copyright on that photo.
Second. Its true. Reagan, Bush I and Shrub were all elected as a direct result of the fundamentalist christians. The fundamentalist movement became politically active as a direct result of the Court's decision in Roe.
Sure, they've definitely been aggressive in hiring these people, but you can't wholly remake an institution like the Justice Department in a space of eight years.
What's happened is that jobs at Justice--for which hiring should be very competitive--have been passed out to wildly underqualified people, but there are still plenty of people who've been there since before Liberty and Regents even existed.
Christian law school 'has had no better friend than the Bush administration'
RAW STORY Published: Monday April 9, 2007
The Pat Robertson-founded Regent University School of Law has come under the media's spotlight in recent days, as one of its graduates, Monica Goodling, has been placed at the center of the debate over the firing of U.S. attorneys, according to the Boston Globe.
Many are finding that Regent's influence and alumni placements in the current administration outpace its academic record and credentials.
"Regent University School of Law, founded by televangelist Pat Robertson to provide 'Christian leadership to change the world,' has worked hard in its two-decade history to upgrade its reputation," writes Globe staff writer Charlie Savage, "fighting past years when a majority of its graduates couldn't pass the bar exam and leading up to recent victories over Ivy League teams in national law student competitions."
Savage continues, "But even in its darker days, Regent has had no better friend than the Bush administration. Graduates of the law school have been among the most influential of the more than 150 Regent University alumni hired to federal government positions since President Bush took office in 2001, according to a university website."
Goodling, a graduate of Regent and a now-former aide to Alberto Gonzales, was in charge of overseeing U.S. attorney firings at the Justice Department. Goodling resigned from her post last week after pleading the Fifth in order to avoid testifying in front of Congress on the matter. Many are now questioning whether Goodling had the qualifications to be in that position in the first place.
"Because Goodling graduated from Regent in 1999 and has scant prosecutorial experience, her qualifications to evaluate the performance of US attorneys have come under fire," writes Savage. "Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, asked at a hearing: 'Should we be concerned with the experience level of the people who are making these highly significant decisions?'"
Regent's ease of entry into administration positions was first initiated with the Bush administration's hiring in 2001 of Regent's government school dean to be the director of the Office of Personnel Management, the office tasked with hiring and overseeing executive branch employees.
That trend was hastened with a move by former Attorney General John Ashcroft to do away with the process of veteran civil servants reviewing career service applicants.
Excerpts from the article follow... #
In a recent Regent law school newsletter, a 2004 graduate described being interviewed for a job as a trial attorney at the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division in October 2003. Asked to name the Supreme Court decision from the past 20 years with which he most disagreed, he cited Lawrence v. Texas , the ruling striking down a law against sodomy because it violated gay people's civil rights.
"When one of the interviewers agreed and said that decision in Lawrence was 'maddening,' I knew I correctly answered the question," wrote the Regent graduate . The administration hired him for the Civil Rights Division's housing section -- the only employment offer he received after graduation, he said.
The graduate from Regent -- which is ranked a "tier four" school by US News & World Report, the lowest score and essentially a tie for 136th place -- was not the only lawyer with modest credentials to be hired by the Civil Rights Division after the administration imposed greater political control over career hiring.
The changes resulted in a sometimes dramatic alteration to the profile of new hires beginning in 2003, as the Globe reported last year after obtaining resumes from 2001-2006 to three sections in the civil rights division. Conservative credentials rose, while prior experience in civil rights law and the average ranking of the law school attended by the applicant dropped.
Savage continues, "But even in its darker days, Regent has had no better friend than the Bush administration. Graduates of the law school have been among the most influential of the more than 150 Regent University alumni hired to federal government positions since President Bush took office in 2001, according to a university website."
"federal government positions" does not = Justice, which is probably the most selective/desirable point of entry into government work for a recent law school graduate (along with the SEC).
And 150 is a miniscule drop in the bucket in terms of the federal government (and this is Regents, not Liberty).
The real scandal is that even one of these people was hired to work as a lawyer anywhere in the federal government, when I know plenty of highly qualified attorneys that have been turned away under this administration.
I would also like to rub your nose in the fact, that if it weren't for the Supreme Court decision in Roe v.

The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism?
Seeing as how I have nothing the slightest bit positive to say about Falwell, I am content to point out that Larry fucking Flynt has once again shown himself to be far classier than the Rev ever was.
did you know that something like 70% of all the attorneys in the Justice Department are graduates of Liberty University Law School (Falwell's University), it is a 4th tier law school.....there is no fifth tier.
I'd be shocked if even 7% of the people there went to Liberty, much less 70%.

your gonna need stats on this one.
We'd be in a lot less trouble if it were true. The things going on at Justice are the work of competent--and, in some cases, extremely smart--attorneys with a troubling ideological bent; I doubt graduates of Liberty/Regents are competent in even the basics of the practice of law.
This is so typical. Even Larry Flint could find something nice to say, but I didn't really expect anything less from you ass-clowns.

Choke on that, bitches.
I love this argument. If the Supreme Court hadn't defended an individual's right to privacy under the Due Process clause, the bigots on the religious right would never have had to fight against said defense of an individual's right to privacy under the Due Process clause. Brilliant.

The Due Process Clause protects fundamental rights, of which abortion is not one. The surest way to dilute or expand Constitutional meaning is the substitution of the Constitution's language with words more or less flexible in meaning. Best illustrated by the substitution of "right to privacy" for the actual Fourth Amendment guarantee against "unreasonable search and seizure."

Non-economic substantive due process of the 14th Amendment applies those rights contained in the Bill of Rights, or if unenumerated then those fundamental in nature, to the States. In order to apply a right to abortion to the states through the 14th Amendment, you have to determine it to be either a fundamental right or in the Bill of Rights. In Roe, Blackmun premised the right to choose, in part on the penumbras analysis of Griswold to avoid the discredited analysis of the Lochner era. In Griswold the right was considered to be found in the penumbras of, among others, the 4th Amendment.

The saddest thing about the Falwells of this world is that their version of Christianity is painfully far-removed from any semblance of actual Christianity. It's a shame that they can't see the importance of forgiveness and acceptance. I don't Jesus was much of a hatter.

The surest way to dilute or expand Constitutional meaning is the substitution of the Constitution's language with words more or less flexible in meaning. Best illustrated by the substitution of "right to privacy" for the actual Fourth Amendment guarantee against "unreasonable search and seizure."
oh man. do you have ANY clue what you're talking about?
you do realize there are two Due Process Clauses, right? you do realize neither one is contained in the 4th Amendment, right? you do realize the Roe decision, and by extension the Casey decision, found a right to privacy protection in the due process clause of the 14th Amendment , right? you do realize that you have totally conflated this right to privacy with the "reasonable expectation of privacy" of fourth amendment jurisprudence, right? you do realize you should shut the fuck up now, right?
Didn't know Regents had a satellite campus for their JD program in Manhattan. Smart move though. Right in the belly of the Beast, eh? You know...not nearly enough faggits and Jews to hate on over in VA Beach.
Wow. I had no idea you were such a beast with the Constitutional law. Kudos.
He's fresh from the bar (No Cabo Wabo).
Non-economic substantive due process of the 14th Amendment applies those rights contained in the Bill of Rights, or if unenumerated then those fundamental in nature, to the States. In order to apply a right to abortion to the states through the 14th Amendment, you have to determine it to be either a fundamental right or in the Bill of Rights. In Roe, Blackmun premised the right to choose, in part on the penumbras analysis of Griswold to avoid the discredited analysis of the Lochner era. In Griswold the right was considered to be found in the penumbras of, among others, the 4th Amendment.
Props to that saba fag for excercising his pimp hand above.
